Forecasts

La Moohal (5/2), Hawkbill (11/2), Player (11/2), King's Express (6/1), Star Coin (6/1), Jordan (13/2), Vesuvio (15/2), Silent War (9/1), Towers Of Gold (33/1), Breeze Over (40/1), Second Base (40/1), Battleground (66/1)

Verdict

VESUVIO can give all these something to think about but has next to no margin for error. Hawkbill is fancied to follow the selection home, while Star Coin is in the running for a share of the minor money.
